Great location and value for money. our room was spacious and modern with great views of the city and mountains.
It does not offer the same services as a hotel so is ideally suited to independant travellers who want to use it as a central base.
Would agree that it was noisy outside early in the morning !

Everything has been said about this gem. Outstanding location, Arni is a great host, and the hot tub was terrific. Incredibly comfortable two bedroom apartment (#410), though we spent little time in the apartment itself. Very clean and spacious for the four of us.

Nice views from the balcony.

Note that the entrance to Room with a View is well hidden.

In the country of the £6 pint, this place is a little gem. The beauty of Room with a view is that not only is it centrally located (right on the High street), but the rooms are massive, the views from the hotel are spectacular and its amazing value for money.

Its rooms are clean and well appointed, all with kitchenettes - perfect if your on a budget in Iceland, as a Pizza costs £15+. Our room was the cheapest they do and could have done with a little love and attention but for the money it was perfect, and for £65 a night we got two rooms twice the size of a travel inn room!

Iceland was amazing and the people were really friendly, and Arni the hotel manager, who couldn't have been more helpful.

The only down side of being so well located for the town, was that it got a little noisy outside on Friday night when the pubs shut at 4am, just take some earplugs if your a light sleeper, or join in the fun!!

Had we arrived in Reykjavik on an overcast day my 1st thought would have been 'Why Room With A View?'. Luckily it was a gorgeous sunny day. We met Arni who showed us to our room. As i walked further into the room my attentions suddenly went from my immediate surroundings to the most amazing view that i've ever seen from any holiday accomodation. My only regret is that i forgot to take a picture.

The room was nice and spacious with a decently equipped kitchenette, a tv and dvd player, a massive sofa, electric reclining bed and that view. We'd paid extra for a jacuzzi bath that was a welcome sight at the end of a long day out and about.

We stayed here for 5 nights and whilst there is enough to see and do in Reykjavik, you must get out of town and visit the countryside. We hired a car for 3 days as this worked out cheaper than the organised coach tours and enables you to spend as little or as long as you like at each place as well as taking numerous detours because "oh look there's another waterfall, let's go and take a look" seemed to be a popular sentence.

If driving abroad worries you, don't be in Iceland. The roads are pretty empty ( we drove 100km along 1 road and saw no-one else) and it's easy to find your way even with a fairly basic road map
